The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The six-party talks on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
cannot resume unless tension in Northeast Asia is reduced, the head of
the Russian delegation at the talks on the North Korean nuclear issue,
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksey Borodavkin, told Russian
journalists in Beijing on 30 September, Russian news agency Interfax
reported on the same day.

"The main task today is to ease tensions in Northeast Asia, this will
pave the way for the resumption of the six-party negotiations process,"
he said.

Borodavkin went on to say that "one can hardly talk about the resumption
of the talks when the parties exchange mutual criticism and there is
hostile rhetoric".

"We will strive for the soonest resumption of talks, but one must work
at lowering tensions in the region. This is an important preparatory
stage," he added.
